Resumo
This is a literature review on the pathogenesis and epidemiology of bone tuberculosis (BTB).
Full-text papers from 2001 to 2017 were included. After inclusion criteria were met, 23 papers
were selected for analysis. Results show that in most cases of BTB, the spine is the main
site involved, regardless of the geographical regions analyzed; hip and knee involvement
are also frequent. These three sites are the most prevalent, totaling approximately 70 - 80%
of infections. The major forms of involvement are tuberculous spondylitis, tuberculous
osteomyelitis, primarily in areas of long-bone growth, as well as cases of chronic disease
leading to tuberculous arthritis, mainly in endemic areas. The results also indicated that bone
involvement is still prevalent, being the fifth cause of extrapulmonary disease involvement
in Brazil. This review highlights the role of tuberculosis in public health, especially in
economically active groups where BTB is most prevalent.
